Medical examination/retention a. The officer’s immediate commander will ensure that medical examination procedures are followed as stated in AR 40–501. b. An officer may only be retained past separation date for medical reasons when continued hospitalization and/or physical disability processing is required. An officer being retired (voluntary or involuntary) due to maximum age (see paras 6–26 and 6–27) or length of service (see para 6–28) will not be retained on AD unless the medical condition requires referral to a physical evaluation board (PEB) (see para 6–7). An officer who is medically fit for retention will not be retained beyond the established separation date. An officer will not be retained without written consent (see f, below). c. The commander of the medical treatment facility (MTF) will forward requests for retention endorsed by the o f f i c e r ’ s u n i t c o m m a n d e r , t h r o u g h t h e O f f i c e o f t h e S u r g e o n G e n e r a l , H e a d q u a r t e r s , D e p a r t m e n t o f t h e A r m y (DASG–PSA), Falls Church, VA 22041–3258; to the Commander, HRC–Alexandria (AHRC–OPD–A), 200 Stovall Street, Alexandria, VA 22332–0478; or for AGR personnel to the Commander, HRC–St. Louis (AHRC–AR), 1 Reserve Way, St. Louis, MO 63132–5200, as appropriate or for Title 10 AGR (Army National Guard of the United States (ARNGUS)) Soldiers to Chief, National Guard Bureau, ATTN: NGB-ARZ-T, 1411 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202–3231, as appropriate, for approval. The requests will include the following information: (1) Officer’s name, rank, and social security number (SSN). (2) Reason for release (for example, nonselection for promotion). (3) Scheduled release date. (4) Medical reasons for retention. (5) Medical facility point of contact (POC). (6) A copy of the retention affidavit (see fig 1–1). d. The officer will be advised of the following retention advantages: (1) Medical care and/or hospitalization provided. (2) Normal benefits such as pay and allowances, to include continued post exchange and commissary privileges. (3) Dependent medical care when an officer is ordered to AD for more than 30 days. (4) The additional active service is creditable for longevity and retirement. For Reserve officers ordered to AD for 30 days or less, any retention under b, above, past the termination date of the orders is not creditable as AD for retirement under section 12731, title 10, United States Code (10 USC 12731). (See g, below.) (5) State income tax benefits where allowed by law. e. Advise the officer that if he or she is eligible for disability separation, the advantages are as follows: (1) If permanently retired, election of the most favorable retired pay allowed. If temporarily retired, the same selection of pay is authorized, but the minimum will not be less than 50 percent of the basic pay. (2) If retired, the officer, along with dependents, will be eligible for certain medical care when facilities and staffing permit at uniformed services facilities and certain medical care in civilian facilities (see AR 40–3). (3) The percentage of retired pay that is based on the disability will be exempt from taxation. (4) If discharged for disability, the officer may be entitled to separation pay. f. The retained officer will sign the retention affidavit (see fig 1–1). The next of kin or legal representative will sign for the retained officer when the retained officer is mentally incompetent or unable to sign. If the officer is unable to sign and the next of kin or legal representative cannot be located or will not indicate whether the officer will be retained, the officer will be retained until a retention decision is reached. The hospital commander will forward the details of the case as required by c, above. File a copy in the officer’s military personnel file (MPF). 6 AR 600–8–24 12 April 2006
g. See AR 135–381 concerning procedures for RC officers on active duty for training (ADT), temporary tour of active duty (TTAD), or active duty for special work (ADSW) tours of 30 calendar days or less and are hospitalized. 1–24. Referral for physical disability evaluation If a commissioned or warrant officer is being processed for REFRAD, separation, or retirement or has been referred for elimination action, when it is determined that the officer has a medical impairment that does not meet medical retention standards, the officer will be processed as set forth in paragraphs a, through d, below. a. A commissioned or warrant officer under investigation for an offense chargeable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) that could result in dismissal or punitive discharge may not be referred for or continue disability processing unless— (1) The investigation ends without charges. (2) The commander exercising proper court-martial jurisdiction dismisses the charges. (3) The commander exercising proper court-martial jurisdiction refers the charge for trial to a court-martial that cannot adjudge such a sentence. b. When a commissioned or warrant officer, as applicable, is being processed for one of the actions listed in (1) through (5), below, the officer will be processed in accordance with the provisions of this regulation and through the MEB/PEB system. If the result of the physical disability evaluation is a finding of physical fitness, the Army Physical Disability Agency will approve the findings for the Secretary of the Army and forward the proceedings to CDR, HRC–Alexandria (AHRC–OPD–A), to be processed with the other action. If a physical disability evaluation results in a finding of physical unfitness, both actions will be forwarded by CG, HRC–Alexandria (AHRC–OPD–A), to the Secretary of the Army or his designee for determination of appropriate disposition. (1) Referral to the DAADB except when the DAADB is convened as a result of an imposed reduction in force. (2) Involuntary REFRAD due to civil conviction or moral turpitude. (3) Resignation for the good of the service. (4) Referral for elimination under chapter 4. (5) Request for separation, resignation, or retirement in lieu of elimination. c. When a physical disability evaluation of an officer processed for separation or retirement for the reasons indicated above results in a finding of unfitness and a recommendation that the officer be placed on the Temporary Disability Retirement List (TDRL), the Secretary of the Army or his designee may direct that the officer be placed on the TDRL with the provision that if the officer is later removed in due course from the TDRL for disability separation or retirement, the officer is to be retired, but if the officer is later removed in due course from the TDRL because he is found fit, the officer is to be separated from the service, effective on the date of the officer’s removal from the TDRL with a specified characterization of discharge. As in the case of an officer processed for separation or retirement for the reasons indicated above whose physical disability evaluation results in a finding of unfitness and a recommendation that the officer be separated or permanently retired, the Secretary of the Army or his designee may direct that either the separation or retirement action under this regulation or the disability action take precedence. d. When an officer is processed for separation or retirement for reasons other than those indicated above, physical disability takes precedence if the officer is retained with consent. The procedures in paragraph 1–22 will be followed. e. Officers previously determined physically unfit and continued on AD under AR 635–40 must be referred for disability evaluations at final retirement or separation. 1–25. Indebtedness An officer will not be retained on AD to satisfy an indebtedness to the Government or for collection of forfeitures adjudged by court-martial. The officer’s final separation order will indicate the total amount of unpaid indebtedness and forfeitures due the Government on the REFRAD date (see the DODPM). 1–26. Return from overseas An officer stationed outside continental United States (OCONUS), who has a pending separation action will not be returned from the OCONUS command without HRC approval or in the case of officers in special branches, without notifying special branch personnel managers also. 1–27. Assignment of personnel to a U.S. Army transition point/transition activity a. An officer stationed in CONUS who must be reassigned to a U.S. Army transition point/transition activity (TP/ TA) will be processed according to AR 635–10. b. The OCONUS commander will issue orders returning the officer to a CONUS (or other area of residence) U.S. Army TP/TA according to AR 635–10, unless otherwise directed by CG, HRC. Consistent with availability of transportation, an officer will be returned only early enough to permit transfer processing for separation and normal travel time. AR 600–8–24 12 April 2006 7
